Questions I Don't Like Answering Part III

It's a brand new month as well as a brand new year and Mark Meier has allowed me on his blog yet again.

Most writers will tell you there are questions they don’t like having to answer: often they are the ones we get asked the most. I'm writing an occasional series of lighthearted blog posts looking at some of my “oh no, not again!” questions and exploring why I, personally, don’t enjoy having to respond to them.

This month sees the third question in the series: “Where do you get your ideas from?” You can read my response to this amazingly complicated question here.

Farewell to Christmas. Happy New Year!

On the final day of Ink, Sweat and Tears' Twelve Days of Christmas there is a new poem by J.S.Watts, "White Blessings", as well as poems by Kerry Darbishire and Nicky Phillips.

You can read them here.
